Dow's 40 Year Old Tawny Port 750 mL
(Douro, Portugal)

For over two centuries the name of Dow’s has been closely linked with the finest Ports 
from the vineyards of the Upper Douro Valley. Since 1912, when Andrew James Symington became a partner in Dow’s, five generations of Symington winemakers have lived and worked at their vineyards of Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira from where they have produced many memorable wines, including the only Vintage Port made in the 21st century with a perfect 100-point score.

About the Wine:

In the barrel-ageing process, aged tawny Ports are subjected to a gradual transformation 
through contact with air and wood. This results in considerable evaporation and 
concentration, with approximately 50% of the original volume of a 40 year old tawny 
disappearing before it is eventually bottled. Constant attention is needed as maturing 
barrels and vats of varied sizes will show marked differences as they age. The master 
blender, cellar master and coopers all play their parts in nurturing the maturing wines 
until finally a beautifully balanced tawny Port emerges.

Only the greatest Ports and decades of patient maturation in seasoned oak under the 
careful supervision of Dow’s master blender will create the depth and complexity of 
flavours that are found in the Dow’s 40 Year Old Tawny.
